^20 (A)In that day you will know that ^(B)I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

³⁵ But ^(A)someone will say, “How are ^(B)the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?” ^36 (C)You fool! That which you ^(D)sow does not come to life unless it dies; ³⁷ and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of ^[a]something else. ³⁸ But God gives it a body just as He wished, and ^(E)to each of the seeds a body of its own. ³⁹ All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. ⁴⁰ There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. ⁴¹ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

^42 (F)So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown ^[b](G)a perishable body, it is raised ^[c](H)an imperishable body; ⁴³ it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in ^(I)glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; ⁴⁴ it is sown a ^(J)natural body, it is raised a ^(K)spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. ⁴⁵ So also it is written, “The first ^(L)man, Adam, became a living soul.” The ^(M)last Adam became a ^(N)life-giving spirit. ⁴⁶ However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man is ^(O)from the earth, ^[d](P)earthy; the second man is from heaven. ⁴⁸ As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, ^(Q)so also are those who are heavenly. ⁴⁹ Just as we have ^(R)borne the image of the earthy, ^[e]we ^(S)will also bear the image of the heavenly.

The Mystery of Resurrection

⁵⁰ Now I say this, brethren, that ^(T)flesh and blood cannot ^(U)inherit the kingdom of God; nor does ^[f]the perishable inherit ^[g](V)the imperishable. ⁵¹ Behold, I tell you a ^(W)mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be ^(X)changed, ⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for ^(Y)the trumpet will sound, and ^(Z)the dead will be raised ^[h]imperishable, and ^(AA)we will be changed. ⁵³ For this ^[i]perishable must put on ^[j](AB)the imperishable, and this ^(AC)mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ But when this ^[k]perishable will have put on ^[l]the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “^(AD)Death is swallowed up in victory. ^55 (AE)O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” ⁵⁶ The sting of ^(AF)death is sin, and ^(AG)the power of sin is the law; ⁵⁷ but ^(AH)thanks be to God, who gives us the ^(AI)victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

^58 (AJ)Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in ^(AK)the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

¹³ But according to His ^(A)promise we are looking for ^(B)new heavens and a new earth, ^(C)in which righteousness dwells.

The New Heaven and Earth

21 Then I saw ^(A)a new heaven and a new earth; for ^(B)the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. ² And I saw ^(C)the holy city, ^(D)new Jerusalem, ^(E)coming down out of heaven from God, ^(F)made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, ^(G)the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will ^[a](H)dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them^[b], ⁴ and He will ^(I)wipe away every tear from their eyes; and ^(J)there will no longer be any death; ^(K)there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; ^(L)the first things have passed away.”
